Status quo of mental health problems of graduate students
Postgraduate stage is a stage that needs to bear great pressure. Academic pressure, life pressure and social pressure will all affect the mental health of graduate students. According to statistics, at present, nearly 80% of college students in China have psychological problems, and the proportion of graduate students' psychological problems is higher.
Academic pressure
The academic pressure of graduate students mainly comes from papers, scientific research projects and exams. Graduate students need to complete a large number of academic tasks in a limited time, and this pressure often affects their mental health. Some graduate students will have psychological problems such as anxiety and depression because of excessive academic pressure.
Pressure of life
Graduate students need to bear the pressure of family and life while completing their academic tasks. The life of graduate students is often monotonous, lacking entertainment and social activities, which easily makes graduate students feel lonely and bored. In addition, the living expenses of graduate students are relatively high, which will also bring life pressure to graduate students.
social pressure
Postgraduate stage is the stage of establishing social network, but for some graduate students with introverted personality and poor social skills, social pressure may make them feel difficult and uncomfortable. In addition, the competition among graduate students will also make some graduate students feel pressure.
How to maintain the mental health of graduate students
In order to maintain the mental health of graduate students, we can start from the following aspects:
Establish a good study plan
Graduate students need to face a lot of academic tasks, and establishing a good study plan can help graduate students manage their time and energy better. When making a study plan, graduate students need to consider their learning ability and time management ability and make a study plan that suits them.
Take an active part in social activities
Graduate students need to establish their own social network, and actively participating in social activities can help graduate students expand their social circle and relieve social pressure. Graduate students can participate in activities organized by schools, or join academic groups, societies and other organizations to establish contacts with other graduate students.
Keep a good living habit
Graduate students need to maintain good living habits, including regular work and rest, healthy eating and proper exercise. Good living habits can help graduate students keep healthy and relieve the pressure of life.
Seek psychological counseling.
If graduate students have psychological problems, they can seek psychological counseling. Schools generally have psychological counseling centers, and graduate students can alleviate their psychological problems through the help of psychological counselors.
final result
The suicide note hanged by the graduate students of Dalian University of Technology reminds us to pay attention to the mental health problems of contemporary graduate students. Postgraduate stage is a stage full of pressure and challenges, but as long as we maintain good mental health, we can get through this stage. I hope that graduate students can attach importance to their mental health, maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, and take their own postgraduate road.
